Factual error: The river that Ottway jumps into is filled with water from snow runoff, and as such it is barely above freezing temperature. Under those conditions, most people might have a few minutes to live before hypothermia and death. When Ottway gets out of the river, he isn't even shivering.

The Grey pits man vs. Cruel nature in this adventure thriller set in the unforgiving frozen wilderness of Alaska. When a plane crash leaves stranded a few surviving men, it's up to a bitter sniper-turned-wolf hunter for hire to lead them. Unfortunately, the wolf pack from hell unrelentingly stalks and kills them whenever the elements and their injuries fail to. Liam Neeson stars as the leader of the human pack who struggles to keep his own life going while attempting to protect those following him in their hopes to reach safety. The film is bleak, the characters mostly unlikable, and the wolves almost supernatural. This does not qualify as a feel-good film-it's closer to wilderness horror.

Suggested correction: This is a follow-up question for this entry and not a correction, but since we can't comment on entries, this is how I have to do it. Ottway has been in the freezing Alaskan wildness for at least a couple days at this point, so his body's core temperature would have gradually dropped in that time. With that in mind, is it possible he could have emerged from the river without being cold enough to shiver? Wikipedia even lists the symptoms of moderate hypothermia as "no shivering, increased confusion."
Ottway: Once more into the fray. Into the last good fight I'll ever know. Live and die on this day. Live and die on this day.
